The evening sun is sinking low Salt air tangled in your hair Radio playing soft and slow Like we could stay forever there We knew the season had to end Just two strangers chasing time Stealing hours we couldn't spend Before the summer crossed the line The daylight dies, the water glows The midnight heat begins to fade We take the night wherever it goes And keep the memories we made Oh, late August fever Running through my veins One night, one kiss And nothing stayed the same Oh, late August fever Burning in the dark Summer slipped away But you left the spark But you left the spark Bare feet dancing on the dock Chasing headlights down the shore Laughing as we watched the clock Knowing we would want some more No regrets and no goodbye No promises we had to keep Just a fleeting kiss beneath the sky That autumn couldn't make us leave The daylight dies, the water glows The midnight heat begins to fade We take the night wherever it goes And keep the memories we made Oh, late August fever Running through my veins One night, one kiss And nothing stayed the same Oh, late August fever Burning in the dark Summer slipped away But you left the spark It was fast, it was sweet It was never meant to last Now the rain is on the window And the summer's in the past I still feel your skin I still feel your touch Some things fade with autumn But I still miss you this much Oh, late August fever Running through my veins One last night, one last kiss And nothing stayed the same Oh, late August fever Burning in the dark Summer slipped away But you left the spark Late August fever Late August fever Still burning in the dark Late August fever Running through my veins Summer slipped away But I remember your name
